      the central research question of givelber and farrell’s important new book is, “[t]o what extent do the acquitted overlap with the innocent?” (p. 18). this is an intriguing and vital question because, as they state, “acquittals are essentially invisible. we know very little about why juries or judges conclude that defendants are not guilty. …[a]cquittals have remained unexamined… rather, they are treated as random events ‘signifying nothing’ about the actual guilt or innocence of those prosecuted for crime” (p. 3). both because defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty and because we claim that we would rather acquit the guilty than convict the innocent, acquittals are often treated as an artifact of a system that errs on the side of acquittal, resulting in numerous guilty people retaining their freedom after a trial. yet, thanks to the work of groups like the innocence project, there has been an increasing realization that it is often far too easy to convict the innocent, which raises the troubling implication that our justice system may be erring in the wrong direction.
